COMMUNITY &
COMMERCE AWARDS
Pause here and take a few minutes to reflect on
the people who make a difference in our community. Awards for leadership, education, and small
business will be presented at the Community & Commerce Breakfast on June 16. Please help us identify outstanding community involvement by nominating someone who makes our community a
better place by being involved. A nomination form is included in this
newsletter and can also be found on our website under the event.
DO YOU WANT TO RAISE YOUR PROFILE?
In an intuit.com article, “Why You Should Join Your Local
Chamber of Commerce,” written by Tim Parker, members
of various chambers explain why they joined. Lynn Hood
of Atlanta-based Crackerjack Marketing Chamber says, “I
have been an active member of the Metro Atlanta Chamber for the past several years, with the key word being
active ... I participate on committees and volunteer my
services. This allows me to meet executives at big companies — who are my targets — and talk with them in a nonpitching environment. They also have a chance to see my
ideas and contributions.”
UPV Chamber member Frank Falk, Falk Funeral Homes
and Crematory, Inc., echoes this sentiment, “No amount of
advertising can compete with the business-building benefit
of face-to-face contact and networking. My involvement in
the Board of Directors allows me to give back in some
small measure. I firmly believe that no other organization
creates as many opportunities to come in contact with
respected members of the community like the UPV
Chamber. The more involved I've become the more I have
benefited.”
For ideas on how to get more involved in the UPV
Chamber, give us a call at 215.679.3336.

UPVCC MAGAZINE
After months of hard work, the newest
edition of Our Valley magazine is now
available at the Chamber office! Our Valley
is a publication of the UPV Chamber of
Commerce in a joint venture with NexZest,
Inc. It began as a summer intern project
and has evolved into a comprehensive
collection of information and a guided tour
of our rural community, complete with a
reference to local businesses. Its pages
include everything from a complete guide to all of our area parks,
some tips to “rediscover recreation,” highlights of unique Valley
events, local businesses, food, fun and much more! We hope you
smile as you page through this fresh approach to living in the Upper
Perkiomen Valley. Please contact us if you would like copies of the
magazine.
Special thanks to NexZest, Inc.
for a successful collaboration.
INTERESTED IN JOINING A CHAMBER COMMITTEE?
The Legislative Affairs Council is a standing committee
consisting of local legislators, business representatives and
representatives from the UP School District and The Perkiomen
School. The committee meets about once a month, with most
meetings occurring on Fridays at 9am at the UPV Chamber
office. These meetings provide an opportunity for the legislators
to share current/pending legislation. Council members have the
opportunity to discuss challenges, projects and/or present concerns. Does this sound of interest to you? If so, please call
Michele Fillippo, 215.679.3336, to sign up.
